Ubisoft is one of the world’s largest gaming companies with its gaming studios and gaming portfolio, and at times its name is involved in acquisition rumors. A few years ago, Vivendi began buying shares to acquire Ubisoft, but in the face of intense backlash, it disposed of its shares before it could achieve its goal.
This year, Ubisoft was named after Microsoft and Sony, and there were even reports recently that private equity firms were pursuing Ubisoft .
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot put an end to the rumors at his annual investor meeting and said they had everything they needed to remain independent.
“There are rumors of consolidation in the sector, especially about Ubisoft. Our overall position is clear: as we said last February, we have everything we need to remain independent. Talent, sectoral and financial size, a broad portfolio of extremely powerful IPs that will create incredible value in the coming years.”
Guillemot says these rumors are proof of how powerful Ubisoft’s value-creation potential is.
Guillemot;s are the founding family of Ubisoft. In recent weeks, Seeking Alpha has alleged that the Guillemot family will not allow other brands to take over the firm by acquiring Ubisoft’s controlling stakes in the event of a possible acquisition attempt.
